    Subject: Need for newest data on Constructed Wetland

    Date: 17-Jun-2008 10:25 AM

    Dear
    Colleagues
    
     
    
    First of all,
    I am truly sorry for having been not active at all within our Constructed
    Wetlands Forum. I certainly hope that you all still possess the eagerness and
    energy that was expressed at our meeting in Cape Town. 
    
     
    
    I want to
    follow up on one of the main points that we agreed are highly needed to be able
    to carry forward the technology behind Constructed Wetlands  namely trying to
    produce such an overview article to be used on the political level possibly
    at the WWF 5 in Istanbul.  Such an
    article could easily then be adapted to be used on national and local level
    as well (probably just a matter of changing some of the wording and some
    graphics) 
    
     
    
    So for me
    to be able to produce such an overview, I would truly appreciate if you could
    forward me the newest information preferably using the table style as shown
    below, to report on cost of establishing the constructing wetland in question,
    social participation, technical applicability, economical benefits, etc).
